Sirach 3:11 In-Context

9 since a father's blessing supports his children's families, but a mother's curse undermines their foundations.

10 Don't glorify yourself in your father's disgrace, because your father's disgrace brings you no credit.

11 A father's honor is the starting point for his children's reputation, and a mother in disrepute is a disgrace to her children.

12 My child, help your father in his old age, and don't give him grief during his life.

13 And if his understanding fails, be tolerant, and don't shame him, because you have all your faculties.
